Abstract. The paper studies Nart epic motifs in Ossetian children’s drama. The aim of the research is to identify the features of inter-genre synthesis in the plays of Ossetian authors written for children. The scientific novelty of the paper lies in the fact that Ossetian children’s drama has become the subject of scholarly reflection for the first time. The following works were introduced into scientific use: ‘Фын’ (‘Dream’, 1994) by R. Khubetsova, ‘Сырдоны хинтæ’ (‘Syrdon’s Machinations’, 1997) by T. Kokaev, ‘Гæдыныхæстæй асин’ (‘The Creation of the Creator’, 2005) by R. Ramonova. The research findings show that plays for children written at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries have significantly departed from the traditions laid down in the early and mid-20th century, when such plays were primarily represented by adaptations of folk tales or works in which the ideological component came to the fore (e.g., works about the life of the Pioneer movement members). Modern drama works addressed to the younger generation are characterized by a synthesis of genres, which contributes to the blurring of their strict canons, boundaries, as well as the expansion of the authors’ creative potential and ultimately leads to the generation of new literary forms. The data of the undertaken research were previously presented at a conference dedicated to the problems of the Nart epic (7th International Scientific Conference ‘Nart studies in the XXI century: Modern paradigms and interpretations’ (Vladikavkaz, October 26-27, 2023)).
